I know we’re all used to getting our voter card before voting, but this is a snap election and you may not get it in time! You don’t need it. Go vote! #topoli #onpoli

As a person with bipolar disorder, this pilot's story is doubly problematic. Our society's prejudice against bipolar is so strong it is taken for granted that we should be denied rights and jobs. 1/

Having a disability or chronic pain is not only about limitations when you can't do something. It's also about the price you are paying for doing something.

Looking forward to this event coming up over at www.JazzComposersPresent.com! Tickets available on their website.

Man I know my period is coming up but also can we not? I don't know if I can afford to be crampy and exhausted this week

#academicsky #philsky

It is mind-boggling to me that people say "but I had to comply with the fascists because otherwise there would be some cost—" NO FUCKING KIDDING. Did you think you'd never have to make a hard choice in Fascist America? That you wouldn't be asked to sacrifice someone and be rewarded for it?? JFC

Trans liberation and disability justice are one fight.

loving this system where we send prescriptions directly to the pharmacy, but VERY weird that my pharmacy has just been...losing my prescriptions? I run out of my new anxiety meds on Tues, stay tuned to find out how this adventure goes

sidebar, while I'm in hockey mode: "you can't take our country, and you can't take our game" is a golden quote and the epitome of Canadian resistance. Also it was a good hockey game.

look I'm just saying it would have been kind of funny if we put annexation on the table as the bet for last night's hockey game, bc that's honestly kind of how it felt to most of Canada I think? the fact that that wasn't an existential concern to the US says a lot about the state of things

for real this 11th province discourse is so heartening. But also y'all, let's be real: this would be a territory.

if the US becomes the 11th province does this mean I don't need to worry about crossing the border anymore?

C: what are you doing? K: ...watching the collapse of the American government? C: is it livestreaming?

Canada once again reigns supreme in hockey, so all is right with the world 🇨🇦

Mom: I was wondering what team you were cheering for tonight C: don't worry, moving to the US has only made me more proud to be Canadian

@sdpnsports.bsky.social viewer with the best comment of the night: "This Brit is enjoying the war between our kids" I laughed so hard I scared my cat

"oh they're clearing the corner where the orchestra was...in fairness, you could have just not had that" OUT OF OFFICE IS ON, CANADA HOCKEY IS HAPPENING

Friendly reminder that buying Canadian includes buying my records, and y'all can do that any time 😂🇨🇦

Scheduling my out of office: from 8-11pm there is a Very Important Hockey Game, please leave a message

Saw this via @fredrikhathen.bsky.social - not the first, won't be the last 🇨🇦

If you're in need of a real reason to maintain hope remember that billionaire-backed propaganda campaigns and mass censorship across state and federal governments has only made the country even more queer

IT IS GLORY TO BATHE IN THE BLOOD OF YOUR ENEMIES BUT TO ALSO BATHE IN THE SHOWER.

Thread worth reading!

SEIZE JOY FROM THE JAWS OF PAIN. ARE YOU HYDRATED?

They use the trolling line on every terrible thing he says, then he DOES that terrible thing and more. We don’t need to act like the people who say he’s joking are acting in good faith at this point.

In case you didn't know, I run Chelsea McBride's Socialist Night School. Our 13th birthday was last week. And the first track on our latest record is called Revolution Blues. Just in case anyone needed to know this about me today. crymmusic.bandcamp.com/album/afterm...

LEAVE YOUR PUBLIC COMMENT, IT CAN BE ANONYMOUS

I need abled people to understand that breaking someone's wheelchair is like breaking your legs. Both of them. They want to get away with breaking people's legs.

Earnest post, but: a thing I like here is it’s okay to have moments of happiness in public without being broadly scolded, and I believe that sustaining this kind of humanity will be very important as we resist fascism. We have to sustain each other. Making joy isn’t denial, it’s how we will survive

For obvious reasons, the lesson—the internet wisdom—behind ‘don’t feed the trolls’ is applicable to random comment board participants but not the president of the United States. The president and his White House staff spending time fantasizing about a monarchy is not wise to ignore.

Hey Canada, just so you know, we're here now

C: okay I've had my three coffees, it's fine for a nap Partner:

Just leaving this here...

I am struggling so hard with getting to know new people right now. I think I need to do what I did in NYC and start being unapologetically weird again. "I'm writing for studio orchestra" is cool, but "the goal of my assignment is to make people cry while dancing" is so much better

On week 16 of "only female instrumentalist at the jam" 👍 (Tbf though, the men are respectful and inclusive and supportive - even the occasional one with a high note ego - so 😂🤷‍♀️)

Don't let anything or anyone stop you from making your art. The harder it is for us to survive, the more important it is. Society berates us for pursuing this kind of work but without us, there'd be nothing but the corporate and the disingenuous. You matter. Your dreams matter. Your work matters.

Is it acceptable to have a mental health day at this point in the semester (week 6)

Accept the things you cannot change. Fuck up the things you can.

I had an absolute brain like shit day and also just folded at a jam but my friends here are all proud of me and an Amy Winehouse doppelganger told me she loved my playing en español so you know, things to live for I guess?

had a complete and utter collapse over offline problems today and am still emotionally hungover from it, so there goes the rest of my week I guess
